TESTS AND MEASUREMENTS – Part 17-2: Cable clamping tests – Test 17b: Cable clamp resistance to cable rotation

Scope and object

1

This part of IEC 60512, when required by the detail specification, is used for testing connectors within the scope of technical committee 48 It may also be used for similar devices when specified in a detail specification

The object of this standard is to detail a standard method to assess the ability of a cable-clamping device to allow rotary movement of the cable/wire bundle without damage to the external surface of the cable/wire bundle, the cable-clamping device, the connector or the sub-assembly

Figure 1 – Cable test set-up

During the test, the cable/wire bundle shall be subjected to a torque or a pull not greater than the minimum value necessary to maintain the proper alignment of the cable/wire bundle

NOTE If necessary, suitable devices to measure and control the forces and torques (e.g a universal materials testing machine and torque tester) should be used

Final measurements

5

The specimen shall be examined visually in accordance with IEC 60512-1-1, Test 1a at the junction of the cable/wire bundle and the clamping device and at the junction of the clamping device and the component or sub-assembly

Requirements

6

There shall be no damage to the cable/wire bundle external surface, nor to the specimen

Details to be specified

7

When this test is required by the detail specification, the following details shall be specified: a) preparation of the specimen and type of cable/wire bundle to be used;

b) mounting of the specimen;

c) number and speed of rotations;

d) requirements for final measurements;

e) any deviation from the standard test method
